Seriously, this has nothing to do with boxing. Did you see Devon actually box? It's just publicity stunts. He looks like he didn't even took a boxing lesson. His punching was major awkward. As slow as a turtle.
@@batman6540 Look, we all like Devon, but this was pretty silly. Devon has no fighting skills at all. He should have trained longer to build up remedial skills and given a better match for fans and his promotion. It's just a poor showing all around and it didn't need to be.

That and... Thor is scary as fuck, imagine getting hit in your arm by one of his hooks while fully extended... I think he was just scared of losening up cause of the disadvantage. He can definitely extend his arm and properly hit and throw u can see in sparriing footage... but this matchup was just too unfair.

The size and age difference is big... but the biggest factor comes down to comfort and calm in the ring. Thor is simply more relaxed, and carrying himself with ease, looks like a natural in his stance and throwing jabs. Devon looks like an armwrestler, without a table to put his elbow on.
Lmao why hasn't anyone mention that Devon accepted this fight with a shot ass notice? And probably never boxed in his life And is 47? And still got in the ring!! Man No Limits is real! Much respect!

Well no, there isn't much of a difference in size EXCEPT for that 20 KGs of fucking weight difference.

Devon I respect the hell out of you for doing this. I boxed for 7 years , and was really good but I would have never tried to arm wrestle you. You did great, just a natural athlete!

That's what you call good old fun. The fact that they embrace the moment is inspiring. They are the best in their respective sports and just students to boxing. Just awesome!!
When they arm wrestled, it was a difference of almost 200 lbs. When they boxed, it was a difference of 25. That's some impressive weight loss and weight gain from both men in this bout.
I love this guy, Devon larrat . At first when he lost to levan and that broke my heart because he couldn't face levan in his prime as he was old. And seeing this made me a bit scared because devon is the reason i am having interest in arm wrestling and i couldn't see him get beat but at the same time it made me proud because he did this for first time and isn't scared and hell doesn't give up . RESPECT 🙏
When devon faced levan he was at his peak , he him self admitted it. He was the heaviest he had ever been. At the end levan was just too strong. Your lack of knowledge makes me sick , stop getting information from tictok. Arm wrestling is a kind of sport where people can still be at there peak while being in their 50s it's all about the tendents.
biiiiig big respect to Devon, I knew it was totally unfair from the beginning, age, size, prep time, boxing experience, etc... I am even a bigger fan of Devon now than before, the hearth he showed inspired me incredibly, what a great guy. Thor is a serious force, nothing to joke with. thanks to both
Exactly. Larratt was not only a canadian special forces solder but he also did judo in his youth. I could tell by the grappling and clinches he ran on Thor. Either way Thor trained in boxing more but Larratt was just doing it to do something different and I think we can all learn from his attitude
@@batman6540 Nobody says otherwise. Hafthor IS an amateur. But the improvement he has had in the last year, is staggering. And now he gets another year to improve. Eddie better pull it together, or he will be destroyed.
Notice how Devon by instinct goes for moves like pushing and wrestling. Like we know he was a special forces soldier, so we shouldn't doubt that this fight could go differently in a different scenario.
@@K4inanholy sht i don’t think so personally i believe the adrenaline you get and focusing on your opponent makes it much easier than performing dance in front of that many people props to you mate
@@MsStevo2000 Devon is 47, not trained his whole life to absorb punches, you think he'd just have a blackout for a minute and no other damage? It would take devon a month of recovery and he's still risking brain damage, thors punches if connected would be pretty devastating. I don't care how much you get paid I rather not risk brain damage
Both seem like good guys, Devons got some balls getting in there with Thor though! Huge respect, wouldn’t want to mess with Devon on a real battlefield 😎☠️
Im not afraid to fight bigger people im when i was 18 I was only 5'7 160 and I beat up a guy who was an amatuer bodybuilder 6'6 270 that being said dont think i'd be so quick to take on the mountain 😱
Both athletes have admirable skills in their respective fields, of course Hafthor's field is better suited to boxing, but Devon's bravery must also be commended. They left us a good match to watch and a memory for themselves.
Let do away with these terrible celebrity fights. We have some good up coming fighters world wide, can we please give them RUclips air time? We want good boxing, we're being starved of good boxing!
Man I discovered Devon through Jujimufu, I always thought “this guy looks so cool” I never would’ve imagined him in a boxing match against anyone. to my understanding he hasn’t got much experience boxing and he decided to go against the “strongest man in the world” who’s currently prepping for a fight against another “strongest man in the world”…. The balls on this dude; and at his age, crazy. Much respect to him. Much respect to Thor too actually cuz it looks like he starting to get them moves, Eddie might be in trouble after all… that is if he doesn’t tear another muscle and call off the fight
"I've never seen Devon soo nervous before." Well Devon said he had no clue about boxing going up against the world's strongest man with a 1000+ lbs deadlift and who's already had some fights and experience in boxing. Even if his opponent wasn't 6 ft 9, those are some scary credentials to be up against.
Devon can take a walk through hell with a smile. The ultimate man that all young men should aspire to be. What can you say about Thor? Just a genetic freak who’s on top of his game and one of the most impressive athletes in the world.
Legends. Devon's the reason I took an interest in arm wrestling - to get in the ring with the Mountain takes guts, always has a smile on his face, seems like an absolute gent too.
This kind of fight should've never happened. I've got a lot of respect for Devon, but it was extremely dangerous to step into that ring. I'm glad Devon wasn't really hurt.
It's so funny reading the comments. You can tell who's boxed and not 😂 Anyone who's boxed knows there's a giant gap in skill and experience between someone who's been training for 5 weeks to someone who's been training for 12-18 months. For only training for 5 weeks Devon actually did far better and looked far better than I thought he would against Thor. Until he gassed which was quick because of the adrenaline dump and lack of conditioning his head movement was great his movement was good and he was even throwing a good shot back here and there. He was much quicker than Thor. How anyone who says they are a boxing fan cannot give him credit and respect him for getting in the ring on such short notice and giving it 100 percent is ridiculous . He's a very brave man! No doubt with the same training time he's more of a natural than Thor
@@lyricsabotbieul5801 We've all been there at least he was still going forward and throwing punches my first time full sparring I couldn't even throw a punch back after 30 seconds 🤣 just stood there like a rabbit in the headlights getting pummelled
Yes right, i rewatched the fight at ¼ speed and devon slipped, parried and blocked most of what thor threw. Unfortunately when a fighter 6'9" 340 connects damage will be done especially while fresh in round 1. Still though that fight didn't need to be stopped at that point and the standing 8 count was ridiculous considering devon hit thor with a body shot.
Unlike the other comment sections, this one here is very salty...you payed to watch this fight, you knew what you were getting, besides that Devon did this for populazing his sport and to entertain people. Don't be greedy, you don't know what it takes to get in the ring for the first time and perform in front of a decent crowd. These men go out there and give their all, give some respect, stop hating.
Keyboard warriors for you. The reason they judge and think everything is easy it's because they never tried anything. They're basically couch potatoes and never tried anything on their lives. That's why they can't relate to someone doing hard work, they never did anything hard for themselves, hence why they're pathetic and sad. It's easy to judge when you don't make mistakes and that's the secret to stay unhappy. Not making mistakes, not learning anything because you're not trying to live life like you really should. Giving your best, working hard, making mistakes, learning from them and become a better person because of it.

i'm actually impressed with Thor, yes ik he fought somebody who didn't know how to punch but compared to his previous exhibition fight, Thor looked composed...props to the big guy
Thor's previous opponents were not heavier than Devon. But they were actual pro boxers. Their superior skills made Thor looks like a clumsy giant child. Here, against an inexperienced opponent, Thor gets to show that he's come a long way in the last year.
@@andeolevain How did Thor go against those other pro boxers? Were they heavyweights? I would assume a pro heavyweight boxer would destroy Thor in a boxing match. Is that what happened?
Whoa, I just learned about this event actually happened, I couldn't believe Devon would have the massive balls to get into that ring against that dude. I hope nothing bad happened to the man and MASSIVE respect for him to even step into that ring against a dude that could bash his brains in by just sheer brute force.
Except every delivery is completely advertised and extremely slow. Any real boxer with speed is gonna see every punch coming and dance circles around him and embarrass him. If he wants to beat Eddie hall he next year he better work tremendously on his speed and learn to stop announcing every punch.
@@jamesroberts9589 everything you mentioned is also a shortfall of Eddie, except Eddie has a far shorter reach and consistently forgets to cover his head. Eddie might be slightly faster than Thor, sure, but with massive Achilles heels like those it probably won’t matter
Of course he's awkward with zero boxing mechanics, but despite that if you look carefully, Devon actually has a sense of timing and seeing opportunities. He's probably a good all around athlete.
I do not think there is a bigger Sportsman in today's world than Davon. When you just see him you smile, no one respects sport better than Devon. Love him for that, he is my Favorit
haha Devon ffs what a legend, this dude is 1 in a million. no training, no notice and fighting one of the strongest men in the world lol. and he's always smiling and cracking jokes. gotta love the guy.
Devon only having a few weeks to prepare for this while being out of fighting shape for years is fucking incredible. I only wish to have his will and determination someday.
Compared to when he 1st started, yeah it's gotten better. I have no idea why everyone expects him to go 12 rounds like a featherweight. It's almost as if they keep forgetting he's a big person
At age 46, with 5 weeks notice, he tried a sport he admitted knowing nothing about against the strongest man in the world.
To be fair he got some MMA and judo plus military combatives, but your point stands.

When they arm wrestled, it was a difference of almost 200 lbs. When they boxed, it was a difference of 25. That's some impressive weight loss and weight gain from both men in this bout.
Nonsense, the difference is double; 50lbs!
25 kilos which is over 56 pound

Kilograms arent the same as pounds buddy..the fact that so many people liked it and dont know that either worries me..

Both are legends, brave warriors with a heart of gold. Mad respect for these two phenomenal men.
guys remember devon can’t stretch his arm basically he cant throw jab punch
So, who's your first fight ever with Devon? That'd be..... Hafthor Bjornson, you know, the Mountain.
Yeah, the guy looks like he didn't have a clue!!
Hahahahhahah
I love this guy, Devon larrat . At first when he lost to levan and that broke my heart because he couldn't face levan in his prime as he was old. And seeing this made me a bit scared because devon is the reason i am having interest in arm wrestling and i couldn't see him get beat but at the same time it made me proud because he did this for first time and isn't scared and hell doesn't give up . RESPECT 🙏
Have you seen Devon absolutely school Thor in arm wrestling 7 years ago? If not check it out!
When devon faced levan he was at his peak , he him self admitted it. He was the heaviest he had ever been. At the end levan was just too strong. Your lack of knowledge makes me sick , stop getting information from tictok. Arm wrestling is a kind of sport where people can still be at there peak while being in their 50s it's all about the tendents.
Devon "No Limits" Larratt back on top 💪👑
after levan he won like 12 matches
Devon is in his prime regarding armwrestling.
biiiiig big respect to Devon, I knew it was totally unfair from the beginning, age, size, prep time, boxing experience, etc... I am even a bigger fan of Devon now than before, the hearth he showed inspired me incredibly, what a great guy. Thor is a serious force, nothing to joke with. thanks to both
Exactly. Larratt was not only a canadian special forces solder but he also did judo in his youth. I could tell by the grappling and clinches he ran on Thor. Either way Thor trained in boxing more but Larratt was just doing it to do something different and I think we can all learn from his attitude
I love the humbleness between the two, 2 amazing champions in my book💪💪
Alright, but let’s be honest it was incredible the respect Thor showed him
No. He's beating a guy half his size. That's not incredible.

@@batman6540 Nobody says otherwise. Hafthor IS an amateur. But the improvement he has had in the last year, is staggering. And now he gets another year to improve. Eddie better pull it together, or he will be destroyed.
Notice how Devon by instinct goes for moves like pushing and wrestling. Like we know he was a special forces soldier, so we shouldn't doubt that this fight could go differently in a different scenario.
Yeah he probably choke him out
The first clinch he would have thrown him down and gotten mount
I never been happy for a guy that was happy about being punched in the face. Awesome.
I don’t think people realize how much balls it takes to fight in front of a bunch of people. At that age, with a short notice. That man’s a gangsta
I was a stage performer, and I once had to dance in front of 15,000 people. That was proper scary, fighting would be way worse lol
and stupid as well. dont fight guys that are 100kg heavier than you.
@@K4inanholy sht i don’t think so personally i believe the adrenaline you get and focusing on your opponent makes it much easier than performing dance in front of that many people props to you mate
Not only fight, but fight a dude with over 20kg on you and 10cm, that's insane
Straight up
Devon has THE biggest balls. 99% of us all watching would step aside.
We'd step aside if we weren't getting paid.
99% of us would see the paycheck and say "yes please". get hit on the chin hard and blackout for a minute vs months if not years of working full time.
@@MsStevo2000 yes but unlike you Devon has money already so it takes balls to get into that ring.
@@MsStevo2000 Devon is 47, not trained his whole life to absorb punches, you think he'd just have a blackout for a minute and no other damage? It would take devon a month of recovery and he's still risking brain damage, thors punches if connected would be pretty devastating. I don't care how much you get paid I rather not risk brain damage

It’s easy to forget what a beast of a man Devon is when he’s next to Thor. I love how much respect these guys have for one another.
Both seem like good guys, Devons got some balls getting in there with Thor though! Huge respect, wouldn’t want to mess with Devon on a real battlefield 😎☠️
Also with no prep
it didn't just take balls getting in the ring, the way he fought took massive balls too
Im not afraid to fight bigger people im when i was 18 I was only 5'7 160 and I beat up a guy who was an amatuer bodybuilder 6'6 270 that being said dont think i'd be so quick to take on the mountain 😱

Both athletes have admirable skills in their respective fields, of course Hafthor's field is better suited to boxing, but Devon's bravery must also be commended. They left us a good match to watch and a memory for themselves.
I agree with everything apart from this being a good match.
They left us a good match to watch??? wtf u srs?
What? A good match? This was hysterical, like The 2 Stooges fighting
Let do away with these terrible celebrity fights. We have some good up coming fighters world wide, can we please give them RUclips air time? We want good boxing, we're being starved of good boxing!
Man I discovered Devon through Jujimufu, I always thought “this guy looks so cool” I never would’ve imagined him in a boxing match against anyone. to my understanding he hasn’t got much experience boxing and he decided to go against the “strongest man in the world” who’s currently prepping for a fight against another “strongest man in the world”…. The balls on this dude; and at his age, crazy. Much respect to him. Much respect to Thor too actually cuz it looks like he starting to get them moves, Eddie might be in trouble after all… that is if he doesn’t tear another muscle and call off the fight
The age, weight, skill level difference. glad the ref was on top of things!
Devon is great...winning or losing.
Devon's literally insane. Mad respect
love devon but he has no clue how to box. what a shitshow tbh
Devon is an absolute legend.
Devon is still an absolute legend anyways
I was scrollin and seen this video randomly. yea i agree xD
3:17 was legit from Devon lol
I've never seen Devon soo nervous before. He's such a confident guy with soo much game and charisma
Well he's stepped into something he hadn't a clue about. Credit for his courage though.
@@spiroclimb2523 yes boxing is not his support but yet he has big balls
its reasonable his opponent is a strongman
"I've never seen Devon soo nervous before."
Well Devon said he had no clue about boxing going up against the world's strongest man with a 1000+ lbs deadlift and who's already had some fights and experience in boxing. Even if his opponent wasn't 6 ft 9, those are some scary credentials to be up against.
The men from Iceland are true gentlemen, gotta say nothing but love for Devon and the sport of boxing
The hug at the end was everything
Devon can take a walk through hell with a smile. The ultimate man that all young men should aspire to be. What can you say about Thor? Just a genetic freak who’s on top of his game and one of the most impressive athletes in the world.
The wors "just" is hilarious before that sentence

This kind of fight should've never happened. I've got a lot of respect for Devon, but it was extremely dangerous to step into that ring. I'm glad Devon wasn't really hurt.
It’s 2 guys that can’t box boxing.
It's so funny reading the comments. You can tell who's boxed and not 😂 Anyone who's boxed knows there's a giant gap in skill and experience between someone who's been training for 5 weeks to someone who's been training for 12-18 months. For only training for 5 weeks Devon actually did far better and looked far better than I thought he would against Thor. Until he gassed which was quick because of the adrenaline dump and lack of conditioning his head movement was great his movement was good and he was even throwing a good shot back here and there. He was much quicker than Thor. How anyone who says they are a boxing fan cannot give him credit and respect him for getting in the ring on such short notice and giving it 100 percent is ridiculous . He's a very brave man! No doubt with the same training time he's more of a natural than Thor
That adrenaline dump definitely hit him hard
@@lyricsabotbieul5801 We've all been there at least he was still going forward and throwing punches my first time full sparring I couldn't even throw a punch back after 30 seconds 🤣 just stood there like a rabbit in the headlights getting pummelled
They both looked crap.
Yes right, i rewatched the fight at ¼ speed and devon slipped, parried and blocked most of what thor threw. Unfortunately when a fighter 6'9" 340 connects damage will be done especially while fresh in round 1. Still though that fight didn't need to be stopped at that point and the standing 8 count was ridiculous considering devon hit thor with a body shot.
@@jimjones8808 he never said they looked good, just better than he thought 🙄
Devon's wife is the best...she always has his back and ready to throw some punches too if situation call for it hehe
HAHAHA
You are absolutely right.
Not really. Every girl is like that if she falls for you. You just aren't worth her loving you.
And shes hot.. both of them actually have cute lovely wives
Thor is a very nice person. He does not want anyone to get hurt. Way to go Devin, you're a big dude!
Unlike the other comment sections, this one here is very salty...you payed to watch this fight, you knew what you were getting, besides that Devon did this for populazing his sport and to entertain people. Don't be greedy, you don't know what it takes to get in the ring for the first time and perform in front of a decent crowd. These men go out there and give their all, give some respect, stop hating.
Keyboard warriors for you. The reason they judge and think everything is easy it's because they never tried anything. They're basically couch potatoes and never tried anything on their lives. That's why they can't relate to someone doing hard work, they never did anything hard for themselves, hence why they're pathetic and sad. It's easy to judge when you don't make mistakes and that's the secret to stay unhappy. Not making mistakes, not learning anything because you're not trying to live life like you really should. Giving your best, working hard, making mistakes, learning from them and become a better person because of it.

horses?
i'm actually impressed with Thor, yes ik he fought somebody who didn't know how to punch but compared to his previous exhibition fight, Thor looked composed...props to the big guy
The weight difference plays a big part aswell like nobody will take a fight with that big difference
Thor's previous opponents were not heavier than Devon. But they were actual pro boxers. Their superior skills made Thor looks like a clumsy giant child. Here, against an inexperienced opponent, Thor gets to show that he's come a long way in the last year.

How did Thor go against those other pro boxers? Were they heavyweights? I would assume a pro heavyweight boxer would destroy Thor in a boxing match. Is that what happened?

Whoa, I just learned about this event actually happened, I couldn't believe Devon would have the massive balls to get into that ring against that dude. I hope nothing bad happened to the man and MASSIVE respect for him to even step into that ring against a dude that could bash his brains in by just sheer brute force.
Thor was well controlled, movements were professional, great jab, using reach advantage perfectly. Love to both of them, devon got a heart of a lion.
Except every delivery is completely advertised and extremely slow. Any real boxer with speed is gonna see every punch coming and dance circles around him and embarrass him. If he wants to beat Eddie hall he next year he better work tremendously on his speed and learn to stop announcing every punch.
